You need expert opinion and guidance to help you determine how to best manage and treat patients with AF and other types of arrhythmias — and keep abreast of the latest advances in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. That’s where ArrhythmiaSAP comes in. It can help you stay on top of issues such as:

  • Sudden cardiac death. This is an important public health problem, given that few patients are resuscitated successfully from a cardiac arrest. ArrhythmiaSAP helps you identify patients at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias so that prophylactic therapy can be instituted as soon as possible.
  • Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Since the incidence of AF increases dramatically with age, you are spending more time treating this condition as our population gets older. Moreover, management of AF has become more complicated and has changed significantly over the years. Twenty years ago, it was treated primarily with drugs, but advances in technology have resulted in new treatment options with radiofrequency catheter ablation and implantable devices.
  • New indications for ICDs.
  • The latest information from randomized clinical trials and how to apply it to everyday clinical practice.

Your copy of ArrhythmiaSAP features the latest treatment advice and everything you need to successfully manage your patients. Its dynamic syllabus allows you to test your knowledge and is more precise than a textbook.

ArrhythmiaSAP offers comprehensive didactic material about arrhythmias and cardiac electrophysiology covering the following topics:

  • Cellular Electrophysiology
  • Diagnostic Techniques
  • Disorders of Sinus and AV Nodal Conduction and Syncope
  • Pacemakers
  • Antiarrhythmic Drugs
  • Supraventricular Tachycardia
  • Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter

  • Over 50 ABIM style self-assessment questions, including an additional 40 questions analyzing the syllabus text
  • Hundreds of expertly processed figures ready for use in Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Presentations
  • Almost 40 Expert Interviews covering such topics as: Who Should Get an ICD?, MIRACLE, In-Synch, COMPANION, Non-Pharmacologic Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation and The AFFIRM Trial — Rate vs. Rhythm Control
  • Updated AHA/ACC guidelines
  • The Clinical Trials Database, updated with the latest principal findings, interpretations, references and more
  • Additional Case Studies and Clinical Controversies answering those difficult clinical questions
